The crisis over General David Petraeus's resignation reached President Barack Obama's cabinet for the first time on Monday as it was alleged that the US attorney general knew about the affair for months but kept it secret until the day of the American election.

Hello DB,I generally agree with you...but, I put a link in a post above to a GLP thread. The thread has links to external sources. The Petraeous thing is a decoy...the old "follow the money" line still works...Benghazi was about oil money. Let the O administration answer a few simple questions: Were there copies of those missing oil contracts? Can we see the copies of the missing oil contracts, if they exist? If the contracts are gone forever...what can be told about the oil contracts - who were the parties involved - what prices for the oil was in the contracts - where was the oil to end up (on American shores?)Signed,Another AC

Over the last year, there have been multiple attacks on foreign gov't targets (E.g shots fired at UK ambassador's car, gelatina bomb thrown at US consulate in Benghazi, bomb under Egyptian embassy worker's car, attacks on ICRC facilities)...These attacks have been considered minor...Libyan say they use gelatina (some kind of explosive) for fishing...

Apparently the CIA Annex in Benghazi had taken several Libyan militants as prisoners, according to Paul Broadwell at a University of Denver speech on October 26. She said that while it’s still being vetted, the US government believes that is the reason for the attack that killed our Ambassador, 2 CIA officers and former Navy SEALs, and one State Department officer.

Broadwell confirmed in her speech that the CIA officers in Benghazi had called for backup and were requesting a Delta Force group called the “Commander in Chief’s In Extremis Force”. She said they could have come and reinforced the consulate. She didn’t give a reason as to why they didn’t, but did indicate that there had been a ‘failure in the system’. She says that Petraeus knew all of this within 24 hours of the attack but wasn’t allowed to talk to the press.

Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”

Now I want to remind you what Paula said in her speech:

“The challenging thing for Gen. Petraeus,” she stated, “is that in his new position, he’s not allowed to communicate with the press. So he’s known all of this – they had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya, within 24 hours they kind of knew what was happening.”

I will leave you with one more piece of information.

Petraeus and Broadwell were interrogated by the FBI and admitted to them their affair on October 21st.

So I ask you, does it not appear this was a coordinated effort to get out a message?

I ask, do you believe for one second that Hillary and Obama didn't know about this until after the election?

Any of you who are foolish enough to believe that the HEAD of the CIA would be stupid enough to communicate with a lover via an unsecured gmail account ought to go back to watching Dancing With the Stars and leave this discussion to more critical thinking people.

Paula Broadwell is not a bimbo.

You don't get where she is in life by being weak. Not any part of her is weak.

If the director of the CIA told his mistress what happened in Benghazi he should be court marshalled at the very least.

He's a disgrace and frankly so is she.

Petraeus mentored a lot of young women. I really doubt that this was his first time wandering off the ranch.

Quoting: CuriosityCat1

Yea this is bizarre. How could she know this much? I seriously doubt Petreus was telling her this much directly. We already know that she would sneak around his stuff. Maybe she got into more than just his personal gmail account?

How is she not under arrest at this point? She is a national security risk.

I will say it again...this is NOT about Petraeous or Hillary or Holder ...this is about OIL!. I think the thing was that somebody had big oil contracts to take oil out of Libya and bring it to America and make HUGE bucks off Americans who are paying high prices for oil! Does nobody else see/think this? I seem to keep repeating this...here is the thread again...Thread: Benghazi-gate - oil and Americans getting ripped off?

Anybody? I know I am "generally" crazy ;-) but, do you think I am way out there on this one? Has anybody checked out the links in the link I posted above?

The Dragon family and governments of the non-Western world acted decisively to get Barak Obama re-elected as president because a Romney victory would have meant World War 3, according to multiple sources.

Obama was cut off of his election finances by the Pope and the Queen three weeks before the election and would have lost if the Dragon family and others did not step in and finance him, according to CIA and Asian government sources. Obama returned the favor by complying to a request to purge Bush/Nazi operatives from the government and the military, the sources say.

That is why Timothy Geithner, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and other bush operatives were fired. The purge at the pentagon and agencies included CIA Chief David Petraeus, Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette, US Army General Carter Ham, Brigadier General Jeffery A. Sinclair, and US Navy Commander Joseph E. Darlak, according to CIA and other agency sources.

Obama now has a totally different set of handlers and teleprompter script writers than he did in his first term. The agenda he is expected to follow is

"We now know it was not initially an attack, but an attempted kidnapping of Ambassador Stevens to use him as a pawn to get their beloved Blind Sheik back.What is most shocking, however, is that a source within the White House states that it was arranged as an October surprise by Barack Obama. Obama, in order to make the release of the Blind Sheik more palatable to the American people, and to boost his sagging approval ratings, arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood to kidnap Ambassador Stevens. Then, days before the election, acting the part of the hero, planned to release the Blind Sheik in exchange for Ambassador Stevens.The plan was for security to be minimal at the consulate, protected by only Libyan security guards who would melt away into the night at the appointed time.The plan fell apart as two former SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, fought the kidnappers, leading to a firefight and subsequent fire, killing Stevens, Woods, Doherty, and also Sean Smith, a communications specialist.Obama then had to create a cover-up ..."

That says it all. Vid Removed by Stalinist dictator O to cover his boot tracks.

Personally I think the Libyans held at the CIA annex had just been captured during the attack. I do not think there was a prison. The initial attack on the Benghazi mission had nothing to do with freeing prisoners, because there were no prisoners at that point.

She has an intellectual and emotional IQ that are off the charts.

Don't fall for the lies... THINK.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23014610

Exactly, except for the "emotional IQ" part - she's probably as emotional as a poisonous snake.

step back, look a the overall story being promoted - an affair with a four-star general and head of the CIA that is outed by a bitch fight with another woman having an affair with the same guy that gets outed by an investigation by the FBI over threats between the cats?

WTF? This is made in Hollywood for daytime TV soap operas.

Now think - what type of person watches daytime soap operas AND thinks about things with the emotional sophistication of a thirteen year old girl?

Hillary's "Army," that's who.

So why target them in particular?

Because Petraeus has the goods on Hillary over Benghazi, and Hillary is afraid she can't stop him from talking. So if she can't shut him up, she's got to discredit him. But she only has to concern herself with her brain-dead zombies, so she needs to give them a hate scenario. Now let's see, what kind of hate scenario works with females with the emotional maturity of sleezy, foul-mouthed, thirteen year old girls?

How about a cat fight between two women screwing the same guy behind his wife's back?

In HillaryWorld, this automatically makes the guy a sleazebag who they could never trust, who lies when he breathes, who receives ten minutes of hate a day just for existing and who - especially - will be immediately spit upon by thirty million Hillary zombies the moment he DARES try to shift the blame for his sordid, ugly, rotten, male life onto their queen.

I'm telling ya, this is how it works. Hillary's GOT to hold on to these females, and if - and when - they find out she's been murdering ambassadors and committing treason, it's going to give them pause. Probably not a long pause, lasting only between sips of latte, but still, it's a crack in the armor of their loyalty stupidity that Hillary can't risk.

Thus, the cover story. And it even has the perfect title for the soap opera, which you can read on Drudge right now: "Stay Away From My Guy."
